Department of Prosthodontics and Occlusion, New York University, New York.

Concepts and techniques for fabrication of various types of provisional fixed restorations have been described. The problems created by less than optimal construction are presented. The clinician must decide which type of fixed provisional appliance is desirable or required in various situations. The same fixed provisional restoration cannot be suitable in every situation. The dentist must be able to evaluate and select which type of interim fixed prosthesis should be constructed for the various cases that present in their offices.
